Go Wild Gorillas: Meet 'Dynamic Hero'


Go Wild Gorillas is celebrating "Character Culture" this week and Dynamic Hero fits right in!

Comic book artist Kenneth Rocafort collaborated with Henry to create the vibrant sculpture that is now part of the art trail on the island of Jersey.



We had the chance to talk to Kenneth, Henry, and Durrell Wildlife CEO Lesley Dickie about the project that is raising money for a new gorilla home at Jersey Zoo.



Learn all about Henry's adopted gorilla family and how you can get involved at gwg.durrell.org

And don't miss Henry's interview with the Bailiwick Express.

Henry's Throwback To Durrell Challenge: Thanks Fans, More

Here be a picture of me looking muchos proud of myself! But why? I hear you ask. Well, dear Follower, this was immediately after the Durrell Challenge back in Jersey. Yes! 13k of hills and good times round the island on a perfect day for a run with a number of other badasses who had the same idea as me! Seriously proud of all of you who made their way to Jersey for the run and to experience the zoo itself! I'm also very proud of anyone who raised some money to donate towards the efforts at Durrell, adopted an animal, or even just spread the word. You guys are legends! Thank you. The other reason im looking so chuffed is because Bentley lent me that car for the weekend so I could ride around in style when I wasnt running around in short shorts! And lastly, those may be the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn....ever #DurrellChallenge #YouAreAllBadasses @Durrell_JerseyZoo @BentleyMotors #Bentley #ComfyShoes #IHopeYouLikeLongCaptions

The Durrell Challenge 13K Race Results

Durrell was delighted to see nearly 600 people turn up this morning for the third Durrell Challenge, including their global ambassador Henry Cavill.

The line-up included entrants from 16 countries, and close to 40 VIP runners who all committed to raise funds in excess of £1,000 for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.

The challenging 13K route started from Victoria Park in St Helier and took runners through beautiful green lanes up to Jersey Zoo where finishers were welcomed by family and friends.

Durrell’s CEO, Lesley Dickie, commented on the event: “First of all a huge thank you to our ambassador, Henry Cavill, for once again returning to Jersey to take part in this event. We are also so grateful to all the runners that took part in this challenging run, particularly those who raised over £1,000 to support our work saving species both in Jersey and around the world”

The first man across the line was Dan Romeril in a time of 49:04 and the winning woman was Gemma Dawkins in a time of 55:40

Full race results can be found at doitfordurrell.com/13k-results

Following the race, the Really Wild Day at Jersey Zoo saw visitors enjoying wild activities including barefoot trails, live music, wild yoga and special keeper talks. Younger visitors were sent on a mission around the zoo as they undertook the Superhero Safari sponsored by Appleby.

Lesley was delighted to see visitors of all ages really enjoying the zoo and connecting with nature. “Thank you to our sponsors Appleby for their support with the Superhero Safari - it was great to see so many youngsters enjoying learning about our animals. The Really Wild Day is a new twist on the family fun day and was designed to connect our visitors to nature. Rewilding people is a key part of our new strategy and It was fantastic to see how much everyone was enjoying the wild and natural activities we had on offer.”





Henry kicked off the 13K accompanied by family members and his management team.


He also kept fans updated on his Instagram.
